What Our Camp Looks like:

Each Day Students will...

1. Use their sketchbooks to learn about an element of design and apply the learned concept using various media such as pencil, conte, pastels, markers & paint.

2. Explore the life of a Master Artist and apply his/her techniques in an artwork.

3. Create a project based on students' ideas using different media such as paint, clay,wood, plaster, fabric & more!

4. Explore the outdoors and create in collaboration with nature and with each other.

5. Lean tools and techniques to manage worries, stress and anxiety.

Each week, students will...

1. Create a collective work of art!

2. Collectively create a drama presentation/puppe/art show!

3. Display their artwork at the MESSY HANDS Art Show at the end of each camp week!

Each day will focus on some yoga & mindfulness and exploring self expression through Drawing, Painting & Sculpture using a variety of Multimedia to create in keeping with our adventures: (We use an inquiry based approach & we ask students what they'd like to learn, create and explore during their week at camp. Together we find a connection between everyone's ideas (and we always do find a way to connect ideas-this is what makes our camp so exciting and adventurous!) Our creations are based on the students' ideas! A great way to share and honour each other!
